Statistical Analysis of Abandoned Mine Drainage in the Assessment of Pollution Load (The Griffiths Report)

摘要

From 1984 through 1988, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources studied the water quality of long-term pre-existing discharges from abandoned mine lands throughout Pennsylvania as part of a cooperative project remaining. Water quality data from these discharges were examined using univariate, bivariate, and time series statistical analyses to assess coal mine drainage discharge behavior.
